Finally, it’s finished.11:30 pm. I fill in the recipient’s name, print my letter, sign and address it and then seal it up with tape. I then delete the dcument and empty the trash flder – t avid the pssibility f temptatin. That cmpletes the ritual!
I walk ver t my “special bx”. It cntains ten lng, white, thick envelpes, all with the same handwriting. I place the ne I have just written in at the back and take ut the ne at the frnt. It’s dated2019,and labeled “t be pened 31st December 2029”.
The cycle is finally cmplete! I pen it, trembling with anticipatin. I begin t read, my eyes tearing up a little as I d s. Thrughut the last ten lng, eventful years, f life, death, jy and heartbreak, it has been waiting patiently in this bx fr me, thugh I nw have n memry f ever having written it.

What des it mean t live a gd life? This questin has been debated fr centuries. In the field f psychlgy, tw main cncepts f the gd life have been quite ppular: A happy life full f pleasure and psitive emtins, and a meaningful life full f purpse and sacrifice. But what if these aren’t the nly ptins?
In recent years, a lng-neglected versin f the gd life has been receiving greater attentin: the psychlgically rich life. It is full f cmplex mental engagement, a wide range f intense and deep emtins, and diverse, nvel, surprising and interesting experiences. Smetimes they are neither pleasant nr meaningful. Hwever, they are rarely bring r mntnus.
After all, bth happy and meaningful lives can becme mntnus and repetitive. A persn with a steady ffice jb, married with children, may be satisfied and find his r her life meaningful and still be bred. Als, the psychlgically rich life desn’t necessarily invlve ecnmic richness. Fr instance, cnsider Hesse’s character Gldmund, wh has n mney but pursues the life f a free spirit.
Research has fund psychlgical richness is related t, but partially distinct frm, bth happy and meaningful lives. Psychlgical richness is related with penness t experience and experiencing bth psitive and negative emtins mre intensely. But is the psychlgically rich life ne that peple actually want?
In a new study, Oishi and his clleagues asked peple in nine cuntries the degree t which they value a psychlgically rich life, a happy life and a meaningful life. They fund many peple’s self-described ideal lives invlve psychlgical richness. When frced t chse a life, hwever, the majrity chse a happy life and a meaningful life. Even s, a minrity f peple still favred the psychlgically rich life, ranging frm 6.7% in Singapre t 16.8% in Germany.
These numbers went up when the desire fr a psychlgically rich life was measured indirectly. T understand what a persn wishes their lives might have been, it is imprtant t explre what peple wish they had avided in their lives. When asked what they regret mst and whether unding this event wuld have made their lives happier, mre meaningful r psychlgically richer, abut 28% f Americans said unding the regrettable event wuld have made their lives psychlgically richer.
These findings suggest that while mst peple strive t be happy and have meaning in their lives, a sizable number f peple are cntent merely living a psychlgically rich existence.
As Oishi and his clleagues cnclude, “We believe that taking the psychlgically rich life seriusly will deepen and enrich ur understanding f well-being.” At the end f the day, there is n ne singularly acceptable path t the gd life. Yu have t find a path that wrks best fr yu.
18.Accrding t the passage, the psychlgically rich life ______.
A. invlves varius intense emtins B. means living a luxurius life
C. cmbines pleasure with purpse D. emphasizes penness and repetitin
19.What des Oishi’s research indicate?
A. The Germans prefer psychlgical richness t a happy life.
B. Unding regrettable events has enriched many peple’s lives.
C. A hidden desire fr psychlgical richness exists amng sme peple.
D. Peple with psychlgical richness tend t describe their lives as ideal.
20.We can learn frm the passage that ______.
A. purpse utweighs pleasure in terms f significance
B. the chice f a gd life differs frm persn t persn
C. a psitive mindset helps us understand ur well-being
D. we shuld never be cntent and always strive fr thebest
21.What is the main purpse f the article?
A. T cmpare different cncepts f a gd life.
B. T explain hw t live a psychlgically rich life.
C. T persuade peple t attain psychlgical richness.
D. T draw attentin t a less familiar versin f a gd life.

We are the prducts f evlutin, and nt just evlutin that ccurred billins f years ag. As scientists lk deeper int ur genes（基因）, they are finding examples f human evlutin in just the past few thusand years. Peple in Ethipian highlands have adapted t living at high altitudes. Cattle-raising peple in East Africa and nrthern Eurpe have gained a mutatin（突变）that helps them digest milk as adults.
On Thursday in an article published in Cell, a team f researchers reprted a new kind f adaptatin — nt t air r t fd, but t the cean. A grup f sea-dwelling peple in Sutheast Asia have evlved int better divers. The Bajau, as these peple are knwn, number in the hundreds f thusands in Indnesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. They have traditinally lived n husebats; in recent times, they’ve als built huses n stilts（支柱）in castal waters. “They are simply a stranger t the land,” said Rdney C. Jubilad, a University f Hawaii researcher wh studies the Bajau.
Dr. Jubilad first met the Bajau while grwing up n Samal Island in the Philippines. They made a living as divers, spearfishing r harvesting shellfish. “We were s amazed that they culd stay underwater much lnger than us lcal islanders,” Dr. Jubilad said, “I culd see them actually walking under the sea.”
In 2015, Melissa Ilard, then a graduate student in genetics at the University f Cpenhagen, heard abut the Bajau. She wndered if centuries f diving culd have led t the evlutin f physical characteristics that made the task easier fr them. “It seemed like the perfect chance fr natural selectin t act n a ppulatin,” said Dr. Ilard. She als said there were likely a number f ther genes that help the Bajau dive.
22.What des the authr want t tell us by the examples in paragraph 1?
A. Envirnmental adaptatin f cattle raisers.
B. New knwledge f human evlutin.
C. Recent findings f human rigin.
D. Significance f fd selectin.
23.Where d the Bajau build their huses?
A. In valleys. B. Near rivers.C. On the beach. D. Off the cast.
24.Why was the yung Jubilad astnished at the Bajau?
A. They culd walk n stilts all day.
B. They had a superb way f fishing.
C. They culd stay lng underwater.
D. They lived n bth land and water.
25.What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Bdies Remdeled fr a Life at Sea
B. Highlanders’ Survival Skills
C. Basic Methds f Genetic Research
D. The Wrld’s Best Divers
